Jesus once told His disciples that those who believe in Him would do the works He did and even “greater works.” For many Christians, that statement raises immediate questions. How could anyone do greater works than the Son of God who raised the dead and walked on water?In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Jeff and Tiffany walk through John 14:12 and unpack what Jesus meant during the Upper Room discourse. The “greater works” aren't about surpassing Christ. They're about the mission of Christ multiplying through His people as the gospel spreads, hearts are transformed, and the church carries the message of salvation to the world.What We Discussed02:45 The Context of John 14Jesus speaks these words during the Upper Room discourse, only hours before His arrest. His disciples are troubled, confused, and struggling to understand what His departure means.04:10 What Jesus Did Not MeanJesus wasn't promising that every believer would perform miracles that surpass His own. No one exceeds the authority or power of the Son of God.05:30 The Key Phrase in the PassageThe phrase “because I go to the Father” explains the meaning of the greater works. Jesus' ascension leads to the sending of the Holy Spirit and the expansion of the gospel mission.08:30 The Greatest Miracle of AllThe most profound miracle is not walking on water but the transformation of a human heart. Through the gospel, sinners are brought from spiritual death to life.10:30 The Role of Prayer in the MissionJesus connects the greater works to prayer in His name. The risen Christ continues to advance His mission as His people pray according to His will.12:00 Small Acts With Eternal ImpactFaithful witness, loving a neighbor, or sharing the gospel may seem ordinary. Yet these moments often lead to lasting spiritual transformation.14:30 Faithfulness Over FlashinessJesus does not call believers to outdo His miracles. He calls them to participate faithfully in His mission as the gospel spreads across the world.16:00 The Global Expansion of the GospelFrom a small group of disciples in Judea to billions of believers worldwide, the promise of John 14:12 has unfolded across centuries.“Greater works are not about surpassing Christ. They are about the risen Christ multiplying His mission through the faithful witness of His people.” – Jeff Cranston

John 14:27 speaks directly into anxious hearts. As Jesus prepared His disciples for His departure, He didn’t promise easy circumstances—He promised peace. Not temporary relief. Not distraction. His peace. The world offers comfort that fades when pressure rises. Christ offers a steady, internal peace that holds even when circumstances don’t change. This verse invites us to receive peace as a gift, not something we strive to manufacture. When fear competes for space in our hearts, Jesus calls us to trust His presence instead.

One of Jesus' longest teachings is found in John 14-17, in a passage of Scripture often called "The Upper Room Discourse." These are Jesus' last moments with his disciples before he offers himself to be crucified. His disciples are worried and anxious that their friend and teacher, with whom they have spent the last three years, will be gone. However, in these four chapters, Jesus offers them a message of hope and assurance. In our anxious generation, Jesus' message that he has overcome the world and given us a helper is our cure for our ever-increasing problem of anxiety. In this new series, we will see how it is that Jesus offers "Hope for Anxious Hearts." This week, Brent starts our series in John 14. In John 14, Jesus implores his disciples not to be troubled but to believe in him. The reason they can rest assured is that even though Jesus is leaving to be with His Father, he is going to prepare a home for them and leave them with a Helper. We have a home with God in heaven in which Jesus has prepared for us, and we have His Holy Spirit with us now, who is our teacher, counselor, and helper, who guides us into all truth. We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you!

How do we actually grow into the likeness of Jesus? In this sermon from John 14, Pastor Alex reflects on the slow, sometimes frustrating process of spiritual transformation and Jesus' promise of the Holy Spirit as our Helper. As we move through this season of renewal, we're invited to reconsider what change really looks like and how God's work and our participation fit together. Rather than striving harder or waiting passively, this message explores a life shaped by partnership with the Spirit and a steady openness to the kind of transformation only God can bring.

Jesus is coming back! These words provided hope to a group of disciples being prepared for His soon coming death and they give us hope today as we await His return.
We often refer to the first four books of the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as “the gospels.” But Pastor J.D. reveals that the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is all one story: the story of Jesus Christ. It's all the gospel! And as we go deeper into it, savoring the truths on every page of scripture, that's when God transforms our lives.
Jesus assures His troubled disciples that the Holy Spirit is coming to lead them into an entirely new dimension of relationship and fruitfulness. Today, we live in the fullness of that promise and in the miraculous reality of doing even greater works.
JOHN14:27-31 - PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN14:27-31 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.29 “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do.

In John 14, Jesus speaks tenderly to His disciples as He prepares to leave, offering words that have echoed through generations: “I go to prepare a place for you.” In this message, Pastor Alex reflects on the hope woven into that promise and what it means for us to live with ongoing access to God's presence. As we sit with Jesus' words about being the way, the truth, and the life, we're invited to wrestle with both the boldness and the beauty of that claim. This teaching encourages us to move beyond a transactional view of faith and into a daily, lived relationship with a God who is near.

In this session, Erin Warren teaches through John 14. Jesus continues to encourage His disciples. He speaks the sixth “I AM” statement, “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” He calls the disciples and us to show our love for Him through our obedience, but knowing we cannot do it alone, Jesus also promises a “Helper”, the Holy Spirit who not only dwells with us, but in us. It's a reminder to hold fast to faith and truth, even when things do not go as planned.

Vice President JD Vance calls the discussions “mixed,” while President Trump's red lines remain firm. Meanwhile, U.S. military assets are shifting into the region. Is this high-stakes diplomacy — or the prelude to something far more dangerous? MAIN THING: As ICE ramps up enforcement, elite universities are stepping in to defend illegal immigrants in court. Law students are earning course credit to challenge deportations — and millions in taxpayer dollars are funding the effort. Are America's law schools upholding the rule of law — or actively working against it? LAST THING: John 14:5–6 — Jesus says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” In a world shaken by scandal and uncertainty, Christ remains the only sure foundation. PRAY WITH US!

In part 2 of this sermon, we step back into the disciples' anxiety as they realize Jesus is leaving—and ask the same question believers still wrestle with: how do you follow Christ when you feel alone and unsure of the path ahead? Jesus answers not by removing uncertainty but by giving present comfort for everyday life: The passage moves us from fear to confidence, showing that discipleship is not sustained by feelings but by obedience born from love, and that Christ's peace is not the fragile peace the world offers but a steady assurance rooted in his presence, his help, and his promises.

Just download, print and go!Jesus says something almost unbelievable: “Do not let your heart be troubled.” And he says it on the night before his death. In this episode, John Ortberg opens a journey into what it actually means to live with an untroubled heart in a deeply troubled world. He shares a moment with his friend Dallas Willard, who once asked him, “What are you doing under the circumstances?” That question reframes everything. We're not meant to live under our circumstances. We're meant to live inside God's care. John reminds us that the “heart” in Scripture isn't just emotions. It's the control center of your life. And while the world will stay troubled, your heart doesn't have to.ACCESS THE YOUTUBE PLAYLIST FOR UNTROUBLED HEART HERE:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Egad-Un8UGEuSydT4Y_gT754T89w535Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team
